Vscode-cpptools: How can I re-enable error squiggles?

Created on 23 Sep 2018 · 14Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-cpptools

I accidentally disabled error squiggles, and I have no idea how to re-enable them.

I had an error, and a light bulb appeared. I clicked on it, and then it disabled error checking.

Thanks!

Follow these steps to re-enable your error squiggles
1.Open your vs code.
2.By click ctrl+shift +P through your keyboard.
3.A tab will appear on screen
Search c/c++: enable error squiggles in it and click on it.
4.By this you can re enable your error squiggles again.

In the config file, "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles" was set to "Disabled"

Only works when a file is saved now. Used to work "on the fly", how can I get this working? Thanks!

Normally, the error squiggles will update on a timer. There is a known bug that sometimes requires a save (or waiting 10 seconds).

Hey I had the same issue, and I changed "Disabled" to "Enabled" and nothing is happening. How do I fix this? Thanks!

There are some cases where we automatically disable squiggles and we don't have an override setting for that right now. One such case is if you open a code file without opening a workspace folder.

@sparshgoyal2014 Did you open a workspace or folder?

you can also go into files->preferences->settings ( or simply do ctrl+, ) and search for squiggles ( they can be found in workspace ) and there it shows its current state, from where you can change it to enabled again

You can try to click on Also modified in user/workspace in the error squiggles settings to make them both enabled. I am not sure what both of them individually means but it certainly worked for me.
